Lewis John McGibbney commented on HADOOP-12021:
-----------------------------------------------
Hey Joep, I agree and thank you for the context and detail. This was
already mentioned in part so it's great to see consensus on it generally
being a 'bad' idea.
I wonder if I can even override the function which parses out the XML.
I wonder f anyone who wrote the original code or who can locate the parsing
code can poitb me at it please? I'll then know whether I Can implement this
on the Nutch side.
Thanks for the prompt feedback it makes a huge difference.
